Instantly recognizable
Be instantly recognizable amongst Porsche Design users. The Porsche Design P’9983 smartphone from BlackBerry provides an exclusive Porsche Design PIN ID group - 2AAXXXXX, which sets you apart and makes you instantly recognizable among other Porsche Design users.
Your personal assistant
BlackBerry® Assistant allows you to manage your email, contacts, calendar and other BlackBerry 10 features through voice and text commands. It helps you to execute tasks quickly such as responding to important emails, scheduling a meeting or getting directions.
BlackBerry Assistant is intelligent enough to respond to you based on your situation. Speak freely to it and it will respond in kind. Type a query and it will respond simply with information on the screen. When you’re connected to Bluetooth in the car, it knows you can’t look at the screen and will interact with you completely eyes and hands free.
All your messages in one place
BlackBerry® Hub is the one place to manage all your conversations – email, text, BBM, phone calls, social media and more. The all-new instant actions feature will allow you to quickly organize and action your inbox without having to go into each individual message. Plus, BlackBerry Priority Hub will get to know you and how you use your smartphone, curating a view of the most important messages and notifications. And it’s always available with a single swipe to help you stay organized, in control and on top of all your conversations.
Battery power to keep up with you

With a removable 2100 mAh battery and optimization of power consumption in BlackBerry 10, the P’9983 from BlackBerry delivers exceptional battery performance. Have peace of mind knowing you can be productive and in touch with people that matter when it matters.
